The mission of Child Soldier Relief Foundation (CSR), a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization designated by the Internal Revenue Code, is to advocate on behalf of child soldiers by serving as a central repository of information on all topics relating to the topic of child soldiers.

On June 24th, Lubanga’s lead attorney, Catherine Mabille, told the Court that Witness 15, who gave Prosecutors a false statement, had given another statement to the Court and could be questioned on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Court was in a closed session as a protected witness testified.

On Friday, a witness who had worked in a demobilization center for child soldiers told the Court that it was difficult for former child soldiers to be accepted by society and their families after they escape or leave the UPC.

The witness stated, “You must understand that such children killed, plundered…and raped girls…and old women. That is why many communities did not want to receive the children back.”
